I always though you applied through the NCAA for a waiver and they approve or deny it. First I am hearing that the school your leaving decides your fate.

Exactly what I was thinking it makes no sense.

It would make more sense for the kid to apply for the waiver and if it gets accepted enter the portal on the condition the new school would mitigate the hardship. Meaning he shouldnā€™t be able to transfer to USC(w).

And it would be stupid to allow the former school to have any input on the hardship especially if the player wants to go to a rival school as that is clearly a conflict for the former school.

From FSU 247 board, Zach Blostein

So the Darrell Jackson recruitment developed again on Saturday evening, with the FSU DT transfer commit heading down to Coral Gables.

Logically, if it was a win to get him to head back to Tallahassee en route to South Florida on Friday night, then this development isnā€™t ideal for FSU. But from what Iā€™m told, FSUā€™s side wasnā€™t surprised about this trip. Not sure why. It seems like Sunday is a sort of ā€œmovingā€ day. Maybe literally, I donā€™t know. Figuratively, I believe today to be the pivotal day in this recruitment to see if Jackson ends up at FSU or returns to Miami. And then Monday will be the day we figure out where he ended up, best I can tell.

A few details that Iā€™ve picked up along the way:
**I do believe that Jackson really wants to be at FSU. Heā€™s extremely close with his high school teammate and FSU DT Josh Farmer. They want to play together again and heading home-ish to FSU is the easiest way to make that happen.

**But an aspect that is creating hesitation ā€“ and itā€™s something that Miami is playing on from what I can gather from non-FSU sources ā€“ is his concern about getting a waiver. I believe that Miami has been in his ear about it not being a lay-up to get a waiver (his mother, who lives near Tallahassee, does have a medical condition although Iā€™m not familiar with the exact condition and am not comfortable discussing it in any more depth than this), so thereā€™s a concern that he goes to FSU and has to sit a year.

One non-FSU source has gone as far to say that Miami will not sign off on a hardship waiver for Jackson. Trying to gather if thatā€™s something thatā€™s needed for him to have a chance to pick up a waiver.

**The NIL package Miami is offering him to remain on the roster in 2023, from what Iā€™m told, is ā€œstupid money.ā€ Wellllll into six figures. The exact number varies, and Iā€™m not convinced that the high number that Iā€™ve heard is legitimate. Still, it's substantive.

**Basically, Miami is using concern over not playing and a pay bump to entice him to stay. And playing time. He'd be a starter at Miami, a reserve at FSU this season. This seems to be creating a good deal of conflict for Jackson, best I can tell.

Jackson was leaning towards staying at FSU yesterday afternoon. Then he was in Coral Gables yesterday evening.

This has all been very interesting to follow, with Miami putting on the full-court press to retain its starting defensive tackle. Itā€™s a big recruitment for both schools, for a few reasons that I just canā€™t get into right now. Sunday, as I mentioned, will be a pivotal day in this recruitment with hopefully some finality coming on Monday when business hours begin (to see if he enrolls at one school or the other).

Sounds like his HS coach is pulling strings, not in the best interests of Jackson.

Go Canes

The school you're leaving doesn't decide your fate but their blessing greatly helps the approval process. That was one of the major influences in Tate Martell's waiver approval here, was because Ohio State gave their blessing.

Makes sense now. Thank you for the insight. The way it was phrased by the FSU writer is that Miami could prevent the transfer by not agreeing to a ā€œhardship.ā€

Kids are getting a taste of the big leagues. Players hold out all the time for money or feign injury to protect themselves for a bigger contract. NFL players understand the business side and you usually donā€™t see any animosity from teammates and they are welcomed back in the locker room.

Look at Byron Jones for the Dolphins. He is literally stealing checks and is healthy enough to play but refuses because he knows he will be cut in the off season.

I havenā€™t heard one player call him out for refusing to go out and help the team since many of them are banged up too.

There was a WR for the dolphins a couple of years ago who quit on the team but players said nothing either. He got paid $10 million for maybe a couple of games.

I donā€™t like what Jackson is doing but Iā€™m not in that locker room. Thatā€™s what matters.

In the NFL it's kind of an unwritten rule not to speak on a teammates contract situation. I remember a few years back Baker Mayfield spoke out in the media about Duke Johnson holding out of training camp, and he got checked by the veterans on the team. In the NFL they don't speak on another man's money.

Yet another reason not to jump on an internet board and cry about one's feels by attacking a player's family the exact minute there is some bad news.

If Mario and the coaching staff still want Jackson, that's good enough for me, I don't need all the amateur Human Resources nerds coming here to talk about "culture" and "accountability".

Imagine if this was Corch Primadonna, he would have asked the entire team to vote on it so he could film it for his Hard Knocks knockoff show...
